Speaker connection

Here we connect the speakers in the room to this unit. This section explains how to connect them using typical examples.

NOTE

Disconnect this unit’s power plug from the power outlet before connecting the

speakers. Also, turn off the subwoofer. Connect so that the speaker cable core wires do not protrude from the speaker

terminal. The protection circuit may be activated if the core wires touch the rear panel or if the + and - sides touch each other. (“Protection circuit” (v p. 77))

Never touch the speaker terminals while the power cord is connected. Doing so

could result in electric shock. Use speakers with an impedance of 6 – 16 Ω/ohms.

Connecting the speaker cables

Carefully check the left (L) and right (R) channels and + and – polarities on the speakers being connected to this unit, and be sure to connect the channels and polarities correctly.

Peel off about 10 mm of sheathing from the tip of the

speaker cable, then twist the core wire tightly.

Turn the speaker terminal counterclockwise to loosen

it.

Insert the speaker cable’s core wire to the hilt into the

speaker terminal.

Turn the speaker terminal clockwise to tighten it.

Connecting an iPod or USB memory device to the USB port

To connect an iPod/iPhone to this unit, use the USB adapter cable that was supplied with the iPod/iPhone.

For operating instructions, see “Playing an iPod” (v p. 42) or “Playing files stored on USB memory devices” (v p. 47).

Denon does not guarantee that all USB memory devices will operate or receive power. When using a portable USB hard disk drive (HDD) which came with an AC adapter,

use that device’s supplied AC adapter.

NOTE

USB memory devices will not work via a USB hub.

It is not possible to use this unit by connecting the unit’s USB port to a PC via a USB cable.

Do not use an extension cable when connecting a USB memory device. This may cause radio interference with other devices.

Connecting a DAB/FM antenna

After connecting the antenna and receiving a broadcast signal, fix the antenna with tape in a position where the noise level becomes minimal. “Listening to DAB/FM broadcasts” (v p. 32)

Contents Connections Playback Settings Tips Appendix

NOTE

For best results with the supplied indoor antenna, orient the antenna along a wall

such that it is stretched out horizontally and parallel to the floor (but above the floor), and then fasten the two end tabs to the wall. This type of antenna is directional and best results will be obtained when it is correctly oriented toward the transmitting location.

For example, if the transmission tower is to the north, then the two ends of the

antenna (with the tabs) should be stretched toward west and east. Do not connect two FM antennas simultaneously.

If you are unable to receive a good broadcast signal, we recommend installing an

outdoor antenna. For details, inquire at the retail store where you purchased the unit.
